This weeks image of the week comes from a wedding I just finished covering 11 hours ago. I rarely post images from events this recent, but it is so vivid in my mind. These people were so much fun, I could not help myself.

A 13 hour day of no pressure, fun-filled image making. From the moment I entered the brides home, her family and friends were so warm and inviting. Both families were amazing and the core group of friends could not have closer. They were genuinely cool with awesome personalities all around. It was so great to work with them. You know it’s a good night when the family and wedding party are looking for you at the end of the night (or morning) to make sure they say goodbye to you before you split. It really was awesome to have met everyone last night.

Congratulations to Shamie & Anthony. I look forward to meeting with you soon to go through your images together. More images to come soon.

I hope everyone had a chance to get out and participate in a little partying this weekend. It felt good to have a little fun while I prep for a busy wedding & portrait season. Wedding dates are getting closer as the weather slowly beings to warm up.

I have also been working on my basement studio where I like to play when the conditions prevent me from shooting outdoors. I plan to use the studio to shoot higher end studio portraiture for individual and family pictures. These include sports portraits, religious and holiday themed portraits and professional head shots. I am building of inventory of backgrounds and props and my studio lighting is all set, but I also shoot a lot of pictures on a plain background and put those pictures into a themed collage set. I’ll post some pictures of the studio soon showing it in operation. I will be taking some dance and communion portraits in the near future.
